PT3378-WWVB Manual
Initial Operation:
Firstly, turn on the weather station by using 2 AA batteries or the included power adapter, all the icons on the LCD
screen will light up for the first few seconds; the base station starts to detect Indoor temperature and humidity and
finish with a “beep sound, then the Indoor temperature and humidity will be displayed on the screen.
Secondly, turn on the remote sensor by using 2 AA batteries (not included). The red indicator light on the remote
will flash a few times for the first few seconds then quit flashing after the remote detects and displays the accurate
outdoor temperature and humidity; meanwhile, the indoor weather station will start to make connection with the
remote sensor. Within 3 minutes, the outdoor data will displayed on the indoor weather station.
NOTE: If the outdoor data fails to display on the base unit, please check the following tips to get your solutions:
1) Please check if the selected channel on the remote sensor matches your indoor weather station. If not, please open
the remote cover and choose the right channel.
2) The distance between remote sensor and indoor weather station should not exceed 200ft in open area; too many
walls and other obstacles may weaken the signal transmission.
3) Restart the remote sensor and manually control the signal transmission by pressing TX button.
If the problem still not settled, please contact us at service@gblife.tech, we will help you further.
Reception of the Radio Signal:
After the indoor weather station connected with the remote sensor, it will automatically enter the Radio Control Time
mode. The clock will start to search the WWVB signal after 7 minutes of each restart of the base station, and the
radio icon will start to flash.
The clock will auto carry out the synchronization procedure to recalibrate time at every 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 am. If the
synchronization fails (the radio icon disappears from the screen), the system will auto make another synchronization
in next hour.
During RC reception, the screen will be off about 1minute and then light up again after the process finished. Or you
can manually stop the searching function by pressing the “▲” button once and the screen will light up
immediately.
If you want to reactivate WWVB signal reception, press and hold the ▲” button for two seconds.
F.Y.I.:
1) A flashing radio icon indicates that the WWVB signal reception has started
2) A continuously displayed radio icon indicates that the WWVB signal was received successfully
3) In order to better recevie radio signals, we recommend placing weather station at least 8 feet away from TVs or
computer monitors.
4) Radio signal is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in cellars) and in offices. In such extreme circumstances,
please place the weather station close to the window.
5) Only the "" button is functional under the RC receive mode. If you want the other buttons to work properly again,
please press "" button to exit the RC receive mode.
